From Dodger killer turned Dodger, the 2021 NLCS MVP Eddie Rosario appeared in just two games with the Dodgers at the big league level in April before bouncing around between the Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers minor league systems.
Rosario was coming off a disappointing 2024 season where he spent time between the Washington Nationals and Braves, posting a .175/.215/.316 slash line across 91 games before spending his final two weeks of play with the Triple-A Syracuse Mets.
Rosario nearly waited the entire offseason to find a new home, signing a minor league deal with the Dodgers just four days before their cactus league opener on Feb. 20.
He was the first player in 2025 cactus league play to score a run, doing so via a two-run home run in his very first at-bat of the spring. He finished spring training with a pair of home runs and five driven in, although he posted an uninspiring .154/.241/.423 slash line over 29 plate appearances, and started the regular season with the Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets.
With the Comets, Rosario got off to an electric start over his first 14 games by slashing .339/.406/.542 with two home runs and 12 RBI.
As Shohei Ohtani was placed on the paternity list as he awaited the birth of his daughter, Rosario was briefly called up while the Dodgers were in Arlington to take on the Rangers.
He had a hit in four at-bats over just two games before being designated for assignment on Apr. 20 with Ohtani making his return. He was released by the Dodgers five days later before once again returning to the Braves for his third stint with them.
Rosario went hitless in only four at-bats with Atlanta across three games and was designated for assignment on May 9. After being outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett, he elected free agency, only to be signed to a minor league deal by the Milwaukee Brewers on May 15. He appeared in 20 games with the Triple-A Nashville Sounds, slashing .290/.373/.449 with two home runs and 11 RBI, but was released by Milwaukee on June 15 and has not appeared in affiliated ball since.
